I tried to follow some of my own advice and NOT read the side effects on prescription drugs. Got a cholesterol drug today and broke down and read the insert. For me, that's a mistake as I immediately started to imagine some of the 129 possible side effects. OK, not really but there are so many medications out now and many of them are advertised on TV with funny, fast-paced disclaimers. I guess they figure if they say them quickly it won't have a scary impact (just the opposite for me). If you take more than one or two drugs it seems there has to be some type of negative interaction. Yet, I guess if we didn't have these we wouldn't be as healthy..
I decided to take advantage of my medical insurance while I have it and seek treatment for some of those nagging ailments. No excuses that I can't take the day off for this test or that procedure..So I'll do what I need to and hope not to have too many new chemicals to deal with...Man, one day on this pill and my legs ache.. shouldn't have read the insert..
